4 Reasons to Pack Connectify for Fall Travel

Fall travel is once again in full swing! While staying connected is more important than ever, it can still be difficult to get fast and reliable Internet access across all your devices in hotels and airports. Here are some quick and easy ways that Connectify Hotspot users can save time and money while traveling in the upcoming months.

1. Save Money on Hotel and Airport Wi-Fi

Connectify Hotspot is a lifesaver when hotels and airports charge up to $14.95 per device to connect to their Wi-Fi networks. With Connectify Hotspot, families or groups only pay once to get all their devices online. Start a Connectify Hotspot on your laptop, and share connectivity with iPads, Kindles, and any other Wi-Fi-enabled device.

2. Wave Goodbye to Your MiFi

Why carry around a mobile hotspot device like the MiFi when you’re already paying for high-speed 4G LTE data access on your smartphone? Connectify Hotspot users can simply broadcast the Internet connection from a tethered smartphone as Wi-Fi, eliminating the need for a dedicated hotspot device. Not only is that one less gadget to worry about, but it eliminates another costly monthly bill for Internet access.

3. Firewall Controls

Parents use Connectify Hotspot’s built-in firewall settings to control the connectivity of each child’s device, right from their laptop.

4. No More Chromecast Configuration

With Connectify Hotspot, all of your devices will instantly recognize the Wi-Fi network. No more reconfiguring your Chromecast or Amazon Fire TV Stick to work with the hotel Wi-Fi. Your Connectify Hotspot maintains a personal area network that all of your devices recognize no matter where you are.
